Class Details
Proven Approaches for Your Work Environment
Each of our trainers has worked with Scrum for more than 10 years. They now the practical application, world of work, and the solutions that help you advance. No matter whether you are working in a large corporation or startup.
Our workshop is suitable for all branches. While Scrum is very popular in the IT-world, you will recognize it as a more universal philosophy.
The new certifications come with expectations, the learning objectives. These learning objectives are documented on the Scrum Alliance website. We discuss them at the beginning of the course. Some learning objectives can be fulfilled before the live event, for instance the relationship between Scrum and the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. Other learning objectives are explored in the course by practical exercises and deep reflection; for instance event facilitation or team coaching.
We also allow a lot of time to talk about the context and challenges of the participants. Collegial case consulting is one of the methods we are teaching and using, to approach blockers, conflicts or growth opportunities.
Und wir räumen viel Zeit ein, über die Situationen und Herausforderungen der Teilnehmer zu sprechen. Die kollegiale Fallberatung ist eine der Methoden, die wir vermitteln und einsetzen, um strukturiert Blockaden, Konflikte oder Entwicklungschancen anzugehen.

Questions About the Advanced Certified ScrumMaster®
This is an extension class for Certified ScrumMaster®s, who are already using Scrum and intend to improve their efficacy. The focus of this course is a deep dive into all work areas of a Scrum Master.
First of all passion, eagerness to learn and a positive attitude. Along with some hard requirements for the certification. While the class contents are suitable for all practicing Scrum Masters, the Scrum Alliance certification requires:
- A valid Certified ScrumMaster® certification.
- One year practical Scrum Master experience.
- The attendance of our class and the participation in a preparational webinar, a focus topic and an application practice webinar.
You are about to discover new tools and models for the various work areas of a Scrum Master. Use these methods and practices to improve your efficacy on team, Product Owner and organisation. You will connect to other practitioners of Scrum and benefit from shared experiences, to tackle even difficult challenges.
While it is sufficient for the CSM to repeat certain concepts – by passing the online-exam for instance – the A-CSM is mostly about application competencies. These competencies can be divided into three areas:
- Team: What can I do as a Scrum Master, to help a group of people grow into a high-performing team? How can I catalyze the team building processes? How do I deal with conflicts? How can my team achieve technical excellence?
- Organisation: How can I support the organisational change? How does agile work scale? How can I determine the root causes of impediments to resolve them for good? How can I see an organisation as a whole system and realise the interdependencies?
- Product: How do I support the Product Owner? How can I facilitation collaboration? What makes a good vision, a living Product Backlog, a great product? How can I create a shared understanding of expectations?
Our A-CSM classes are held in groups of 8-18 persons. This setup gives us enough time to deal with individual questions and situations, while we have enough different perspectives for an interesting class. The presence part is accompanied by a series of webinars. The initial webinar starts two or three weeks before the presence part and deals with the course content and preparations. The additional webinars after the presence class contain focus topics or depend the application of Scrum. We are offering several webinars per month, which provides you some flexibility. We expect the participation of at least two webinars after the presence class.
The time-box for most webinars is 90 minutes, plus occasional challenges or homework.
We have three kinds of webinars. The initial learning objective webinar takes place before the presence class. You can join as many webinars as you like after your presence class.
- Learning Objectives: We introduce the curriculum, give some homework for class preparation and answer general questions about the course, learning objectives, certification etc.
- Webinar Focus Topic: Challenges or conflicts in your team? Improve your usage of user stories? Impediment removal? These are potential focus topics presented by our trainers or guests.
- Application Practice: We reflect the individual progress, discuss questions and participant topics. Everything that helps us to become better Scrum Masters.
